Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When Canada meets the U.S. defense supply chain
DFARS clauses flow down like drops of rain
From prime contractors to subs across the border
Every requirement needs to be in order
Two-fifty-four dash seven-oh-four appears
In contracts that cross our frontiers
Cybersecurity standards can't be ignored
When you're supporting the Pentagon's sword

[Chorus]
DFARS flows down, SPRS scores up
Canadian subs need to fill their cup
Cross-border data needs careful scoping
ITAR and EAR keep lawyers hoping
Cloud solutions north of forty-nine
Must match GCC-High's security line
Two nations, one mission, compliance aligned
Defence industrial readiness refined

[Verse 2]
SPRS registration for the northern crew
Non-U.S. entities need their breakthrough
Upload your POA&M to the federal site
Self-assess your score and get it right
One-ten is the magic number to achieve
Without it, contracts you won't receive
Basic, Moderate, High - pick your NIST lane
Document controls to prove you're not in vain

[Chorus]
DFARS flows down, SPRS scores up
Canadian subs need to fill their cup
Cross-border data needs careful scoping
ITAR and EAR keep lawyers hoping
Cloud solutions north of forty-nine
Must match GCC-High's security line
Two nations, one mission, compliance aligned
Defence industrial readiness refined

[Bridge]
CUI crossing borders brings complexity
ITAR technical data, no simplicity
Export Administration Regulations too
Know your categories, know what you can do
Microsoft GCC-High south of the line
Canadian equivalents must be just as fine
Sovereign cloud with equivalent control
Cross-border compliance is the ultimate goal

[Verse 3]
When technical data flows from south to north
License requirements must be set forth
Dual-use technology under EAR's domain
Canadian cloud providers feel the strain
Azure Government in the States stands tall
Canadian equivalents must answer the call
Protected B and Secret classifications
Require specialized cloud implementations

[Chorus]
DFARS flows down, SPRS scores up
Canadian subs need to fill their cup
Cross-border data needs careful scoping
ITAR and EAR keep lawyers hoping
Cloud solutions north of forty-nine
Must match GCC-High's security line
Two nations, one mission, compliance aligned
Defence industrial readiness refined

[Outro]
From Ottawa to Washington the standards flow
CMMC readiness helps our partnership grow
Canadian industry rising to the call
Defence industrial base standing strong and tall
